New pattern: Beckenham Ladies Scarf
Have you noticed that the evenings are getting cooler? Even the hottest of days can feel slightly chilly when the sun dips below the horizon. Autumn is clearly just around the corner. 

So here are three cotton scarves to help bridge that transition from summer to the cooler months  – perfect for days down at the beach or meeting up with friends for an afternoon picnic in the park. ​​This is the Beckenham Ladies Scarf and it features a wonderfully textured reversible pattern from our Reversible Knitting Stitches book. 

​These new scarves have a a pleasing symmetrical patterning and neat seed stitch edges for a soft, feminine touch. The scarves can be worked in a Sportweight cotton/Modal yarn or an Aran weight cotton.

New pattern – Trevarren Placemat Set

I have just uploaded a new pattern for a set of placemats! The Trevarren Placemat Set has been worked in a lovely dusky blue cotton using one of the new reversible stitches that we will be adding to the 2nd Edition of our E-Book this autumn. 

​The front of this stitch has a wonderfully strong, graphic design with a deep cellular pattern while the reverse side shows smooth undulating ribs with dotted purls set in a neat grid.

The set includes instructions for two sizes of placemats plus matching coasters. Details are also given for an extra-thick hot-pad and larger tablemat to protect your table from hot dishes.

Where we like to knit
If you click on the "About" tab of this website, you will see that I have a gallery of places where I like to knit, courtesy of my husband Tim's photos. Well, here's another one to add to that collection!

This was during our visit to Sweden last year and the photo shows Anna and I knitting together by Lake Mälaren in the gardens of Grönsöö Palace just to the west of Stockholm.  

​It was gloriously sunny and warm during our visit and it was so enjoyable to be with Anna and her husband.
